Numbers Select Main Image 
Use Numbers Select Main Image to use the 
numeric keys #1-8 as input keys. This remapping 
of the keypad (see right) can be particularly useful 
with PIP displays, providing a convenient shortcut 
for changing the primary (background) image 
without first having to return to the Main menu. To 
use the keys in this manner all of the time, even 
with single displays, select Always. For normal 
keypad function, select Never...

NOTES: 1) If you change modes over the life of a lamp, the lamp limit you originally 
expected may no longer be possible. 2) Turning the lamp on and off repeatedly 
reduces lamp life significantly, as do other factors, such as hot re-striking. 3) It is 
recommended that Lamp Limit not exceed the warranted lamp life, otherwise a lamp 
could become dangerously fragile with overuse.

NOTE: The number shown for “intensity” is not the actual lumen output, but rather a 
correlated value only—1246 may represent 3500 lumens, for example. 
To use “
Intensity” mode, judge by eye or meter and 
set the level as desired for your application. Over 
time, the projector will automatically increase the 
power supplied to the lamp as needed to maintain the chosen intensity as closely as 
possible. This mode is known as “Brightness Tracking” or...

Figure 3.26. Recording the New Lamp Serial Number 
NOTE: Enter a serial number only if you have just installed a new lamp. This will 
help ensure that lamp timer is not reset on an old lamp and that the number of hours 
logged on the lamp will be accurate.

When an installation requires multiple projectors, you can use the RS232 serial ports 
to daisy-chain the units together and control the group with a single keypad or a 
computer/controller connected to the first projector. In such a network, you can 
choose to broadcast commands to the entire group, or use the 
Proj key as desired to 
limit responses to an individual projector. 
Alternatively, you may want to add projectors to a hub on an Ethernet...

you will be redefining color performance in this procedure, but do optimize each 
projector in every other aspect. Closely align all screen edges. 
2.  Assign projector numbers to make communications easier. Use desired keypad. 
3.  Use the same lamp mode for all projectors, and do the following:

that adjustments here 
define new x/y 
coordinates in the Color 
Adjustments by X,Y 
menu.
